'Israel' to remain in 'Yellow Line' until Hezbollah disarmament: Hebrew media

• 'Israel' and Lebanon are nearing a US-mediated framework agreement.
• Draft includes mutual recognition of sovereignty.
• 'Israeli' forces would withdraw from select areas as the Lebanese army takes control.

'Israel' and Lebanon are on the verge of signing a historic framework agreement at the White House to formally de-escalate the border conflict.

According to 'Israeli' Army Radio and diplomatic sources close to the negotiations, the bilateral treaty will be finalized within Friday, marking a major geopolitical shift in the Levant.

A core component of the agreement includes a mutual diplomatic pledge, with both nations signing an explicit, binding recognition of each other's territorial sovereignty.

According to sources thoroughly briefed on the parameters of the text, 'Israel' has agreed to a series of coordinated military pullbacks from southern Lebanon.

However, these redeployments are structured around a highly conditional "pilot program" rather than an immediate or total evacuation.

Under this joint framework, the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) will progressively enter designated model zones to assume full administrative and combat control.

The deployment serves as a direct test of Beirut's capability to secure the frontier and suppress non-state military factions.

Progress regarding the "pilot zones" and the joint operational framework has advanced rapidly in Washington, and negotiators are currently waiting for the final signatures from leadership in Beirut, 'Tel Aviv', and Washington to activate the timeline.

Despite the phased withdrawal mechanism, the agreement guarantees a substantial 'Israeli' military footprint inside Lebanon for the foreseeable future.

Reports from 'Israel's' Channel 12 News confirmed that the treaty explicitly permits 'Israeli' forces to remain entrenched within the strategic "Yellow Line" border sector.

According to the channel's defense sources, the duration of the 'Israeli' presence inside the Yellow Line is tied directly to a strict security metric.

Troops will not vacate the zone until Hezbollah is completely stripped of its weapons infrastructure.

This clause addresses 'Tel Aviv's' core demand for a long-term buffer mechanism, ensuring that its military retains a physical presence to police the border until the central government in Beirut successfully achieves the total disarmament of independent militias in the south.
